COOL ANSWER NITA!!! The answer is in Galatians 3:6-8 "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed."

Next quiz question... ;D At what other time is it said the gospel was taught in the Old Testament dispensation? Hi There Duck, I just found this site thru CIC sooooo here i am.... if i understand the question correctly .... i'm figuring ya mean Job Job 19:25-27 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that HE shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. or Abraham = Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; or David = Psa 22:30-31 A seed shall serve HIM; it shall be accounted to The Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare HIS Righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that HE hath done this. or Isaiah = Isa 25:8 HE will swallow up death in victory; and THE Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of HIS people shall HE take away from off all the earth: for The LORD hath spoken it.

The big animals not man... ;D Hmmmm, no answers to this question cause it's a twickey won do fossils have to be critters other than man? i mean i heard of fossil bones of people, i think.... now the critters ..... mainly them big ole ones ... like leviathan. were created on the 5th Day.....before Adam.... so i kind of think that critter bones......OH NO....ya got me..... Death didn't come til after Adam and Eve sinned....ooooh cool! Ducky poo, I love it when you get my brain cells fired up! ;D part two = Isa 13:21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. (in Babylon, land of Shinar...Iraq) Psa 74:14 THOU brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Jer 50:39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. (Babylon)

Mabzar...you is too good!
First one is Hebrews 4:2
"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."
Second one...fossils can't pre-date the fall of man thru Adam and Eve. Death did not exist till then. So we can probably conclude from that that Job saw dinosaurs on a regular basis and knew exactly what God was talking about.
Cool uh?

..fossils can't pre-date the fall of man thru Adam and Eve. Death did not exist till then... Exactly Marilyn! That's the 'theology' called the "gap theory" which says there was a period of time (gap) where prehistoric life was on earth between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. But just as you show, because these animals died (fossils), this would mean there was death on the planet before Adam's fall. Couldn't have happened. Good one Duck...

Genesis 7:2 states that there were 7 of each clean animal, and in vv. 8-9 it says that the animals entered into the ark in pairs (two and two). When mentioning two unclean animals it says "by two", however we find in verses 8-9 it reads "two and two". The animal came in pairs, and not implying that there were only one pair of each clean animal. There were 3 pairs of each animal and one extra which was to be used for sacrifice. If only two of each clean animals entered into the ark then sacrificing one clean animal of a single pair would result in the extinction of that species.
God Bless!

It is 7 pairs of the clean animals.. Gen, 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

In other words 3 pairs (6 animals) and one extra for sacrifice. I am 100% sure! God Bless!

OK...I got one. The ark was surely big but when you think about the size of some of the animals like elephants, dinosaurs, gariffs...how did they all fit in the ark. Some of the ark was living quarters for Noah and his family...some for storage...so how did all those big animals fit in the space that was left?
'nother twicky one...

God bless you;
Genesis 7:
14: They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 15: And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16: And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 17: And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
1) Young animals are not as large as mature animals, and take less space.
2) The words "after their kind" are important for with each representative of a Genesis type, it would reduce the numbers, ie. horses, zebras, donkeys, etc, could have been represented in one "kind".
3) In one lecture that I heard years ago it was estimated that the median size was that of a sheep, and volume of all "kinds" equal to about 30,000, with more than enough volume in the ark.
4) One should also factor hibernation into the equation, as well as the supernatural intervention, as in the Righteous Reign:
Isaiah 11: 6: The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7: And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Just some thoughts from an old greybeard.

Pretty good for an old greybeard...I'd say... That is pretty much the thought of an ole white haired woman(no beard) and what I also heard in a lecture some time back. Must have heard the same lecture... A group of freight handlers for trains were asked how many boxcars would be needed to hold that many animals. The estimate was about 150, as I remember. The ark would have had that much room with plenty to spare. Most probably, as I remember the lecture, the animals were smaller, younger animals that the Lord gathered to Noah and the ark...and they went into a state of hybernation. They were on the ark for a long time. Can you just imagine what two wide awake rabbits could have done in that period of time? The ark is a classic Biblical picture of two things in particular...can anyone name those two things?

God bless you; I had forgotten the box-car analogy in regards to the volume of the ark. It was a wee-bit bigger than a fishing boat... There are two or three symbols which come to mind in regards to the ark of Noah. 1) Salvation Main Entry: sal·va·tion Pronunciation: sal-'vA-sh&n Function: noun Etymology: Middle English salvacion, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin salvation-, salvatio, from salvare to save -- more at SAVE 1 a : deliverance from the power and effects of sin b : the agent or means that effects salvation c Christian Science : the realization of the supremacy of infinite Mind over all bringing with it the destruction of the illusion of sin, sickness, and death 2 : liberation from ignorance or illusion 3 a : preservation from destruction or failure b : deliverance from danger or difficulty - sal·va·tion·al /-shn&l, -sh&-n&l/ adjective 2) Could be the lifting-out before the judgement in the Rapture. 3) Could be repentence the turning aside from sin,(entering the Ark/coming to Christ) and the turning to God and His express purpose,(coming forth to repopulate the earth. 4)Could be sanctification, the setting aside for God's Holy purpose. Main Entry: sanc·ti·fy Pronunciation: -"fI Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): -fied; -fy·ing Etymology: Middle English seintefien, sanctifien, from Anglo-French seintefier, sanctifier, from Late Latin sanctificare, from Latin sanctus sacred -- more at SAINT 1 : to set apart to a sacred purpose or to religious use : CONSECRATE 2 : to free from sin : PURIFY 3 a : to impart or impute sacredness, inviolability, or respect to b : to give moral or social sanction to 4 : to make productive of holiness or piety <observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it -- Deuteronomy 5:12(Douay Version)> 4)
